 Juno (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, the Roman absorption of Greek myth replaced most earlier characteristics of Juno with those of Hera, extending her domain from birth to marriage and promoting her to the role of Jupiter's wife and the queen of the gods.She could also throw lightning bolts as well as Jupiter.
There is some support for the theory of Uni being the original; Livy states (Book V, Ab Urbe Condita) that Juno was an Etruscan goddess from Veii, who was ceremonially adopted into the Roman pantheon when Veii was sacked in 396BC.
Perhaps Juno's most prominent appearance in Roman literature is as the primary antagonistic force in Virgil's Aeneid, where she is depicted as a cruel and savage goddess intent upon supporting first Dido and then Turnus and the Rutulians against Aeneas' attempt to found a new Troy in Italy.

 Goddesses and Priestesses Connected to Hera
She was a Fate Goddess, as evidenced by the meaning of her name, 'she who judges278' and her alternate names Kameira 'sharer out' and Abantias 'confronting purity.' Her name has also been translated 'dawn.' Lerna was one of her great holy sites, and the Argive tribes were known as the Danai.
She may have been an aspect of Uni, whose name is the root of 'universe.' The word may be translated 'word of the yoni' or 'word of the dove,' for Uni and its various cognates tend to mean both.
What her name does not mean is 'one' and may be best translated as 'unity of all.' Uni's sacred flower was the lily, and she was also a warrior, thrower of lightning bolts in defense of her people, and she was a special protector of cities and city dwellers.

 HeadlineMuse.com - Mists of Avalon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
While romance is high on the agenda, Bradley's retelling is not so much about Arthur or Morgaine, or about the betrayal of his wife Guinevere with the handsome knight Lancelet (Lancelot), as it is about the struggle between paganism and the rise of Christianity, with Arthur as Christian king and Morgaine as pagan priestess.
Bradley, clearly on the side of the Goddess, details many of the Goddess rituals of the Druids that are later co-opted and incorporated into Christianity--a fascinating historical, albeit scholarly, accounting of how paganism expanded and enlightened an oppressive Christianity.
And she muses, perhaps this was the way the Goddess wished it after all, that the demise of the Goddess and feminine power was preordained.

Alas, for some of these Goddesses then we have very sparse information, and sometimes the only reference will be a small handful of inscriptions on a mirror back.
I have left out Goddesses who are primarily Greek Goddesses under an Etruscanized Greek name and who show very little difference from the Greek original, such as Artumes for Artemis or Semla for Semele, instead focusing on those who are peculiarly Etruscan.
And, there are a couple of Goddesses here and there who are sometimes referred to as Gods; perhaps their gender changed over time or with the location of the worship, or maybe it just wasn't that important to their function.
